- Plugin Licensing
CheckoutWC and all extensions, unless otherwise stated, are licensed under the GNU General Public License (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html) version 2.0 or later.
- Warranty
Plugins sold and distributed by Kestrel Commerce LLC, hereinafter, Kestrel, are done so in the hope that they will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Inasmuch as WordPress functions correctly on a clean install of itself, CheckoutWC is guaranteed to function on a clean install of the minimum, stable and required version of WordPress for CheckoutWC and extensions. Because the number and variety of plugins is vast and wide, we do not guarantee that the plugin will function with all third-party plugins, themes or browsers of any kind. We do not assume responsibility and will not be held responsible for any conflicts or compatibility issues that may occur due to third-party software. We assume no responsibility for any data loss as a result of installing or using CheckoutWC. Should conflicts occur with third-party software, we may provide support at our discretion.
- Support
Kestrel sells and distributes CheckoutWC and other plugins “as is” and with no implied meaning that they will function exactly as you would like, or that they will be compatible with all third-party components and plugins.
Support for plugins sold and distributed by Kestrel is only available for those who have an active, paid license.
We will provide instruction and/or supporting documentation regarding setup, configuration, and technical troubleshooting as it pertains to our products. We do not provide support for third-party integrations and may ask that you disable these add-ons to better assist you. We do not provide customizations, development assistance, or guidance on how to change the functionality of a product outside of its intended use.
Support will be provided for as long as the subscription remains active. If the subscription is cancelled, support will be provided until the subscription expires. Support will not be provided for expired or past due subscriptions.
Support and updates for CheckoutWC are provided as long as CheckoutWC is actively in development. Should any one of the following occur, Kestrel will no longer be responsible for providing support for CheckoutWC:
- CheckoutWC is no longer actively developed as a viable product under Kestrel.
- WordPress is no longer actively developed.
Whilst we attempt to provide the best support possible for our plugins, we do not guarantee that any particular support query can, or will be answered to the extent, or within a timeframe that the inquirer is completely satisfied.
- Automatic Updates
Automatic updates are available to license holders who have an active and valid subscription and license key. Automatic updates are available for CheckoutWC and all other installed CheckoutWC extensions. Automatic updates are available as long as the license key generated from the purchase is valid and active.
- License Usage
CheckoutWC grants each customer one or more non-transferable license(s) to use the software for internal use, and as defined by the terms set in the customer’s chosen license package.
Where the license package allows the software to be used on multiple sites the customer/license-holder may not sell the originally-purchased license key provided by Kestrel, to other users of the license (such as clients) for commercial benefit. Additionally, the customer may not sublicense, to any person or entity, any rights to distribute the software or license key. CheckoutWC will only provide support services to the original customer/license-holder with a legitimate license key, and consider any other uses of this license key for support queries as fraudulent.

After we have processed your payment successfully, you will receive an email with your order number and other purchase information. Your license key is available in your account area along with your plugin downloads. You can download the plugin by logging into the account created for you when purchasing the plugin and clicking on the appropriate link.

Access to re-download purchased files will be granted so long as your license key is valid. If a license key expires, download access to the associated files will be discontinued until such time as the license key is renewed.
